Investigators are on the move on the D.C. plane that crashed in Washington D.C. a few nights ago and they’re still concerned on the cause of the collision in between American Airlines Flight 5342 and an Army Black Hawk helicopter, the recovery crew are still concentrating pulling out the plane in the Potomac River that’s near the Ronald Reagan Washington Airport on Monday.
There were many embryonic concerns that were shockingly raised about the path of at the slightest one of the aircraft, while this was involving a helicopter in which it couldn’t see the plane behind it. It had a visual separation that means it was able to see the other planes except one; therefore that was in their blindspot just like when you drive a car there is blindspot in the mirror. There is a tower that is the air traffic control and they can see all the planes coming in and categorize it so they let each plane know what’s going on.
The National Transportation Safety Board, within the bounds on investigating the cause, this will take about 30 days to inform custody for a final report; that therefore would determine a probable cause, so it might take a while, they say.
The helicopter was going on a training mission, until it suddenly made a conflict on Wednesday night with a commercial plane. Sadly there
were no survivors; about 64 were killed that night, so may they rest in peace. There was a theory of the helicopter being behind the plane, but we’re not sure what happened that night. They’re still investigating some information from the collision’s incidents and potential avenues for the investigation are materialized.
There were 2 occasions the passenger planes had to face prevaricating action so to abstain from colliding with the helicopter when it was trying to land in the Reagan Airport. Also on the authority of reports by filed pilots, another collision occurred with 2 military helicopters that were too close to each other, an air traffic controller reported.
Another day before the collision happened there was another flight spawning to Reagan and had to be forced to abort its first landing and would have to go around after the helicopter flew near its skyway, that was spoken by the air traffic control audio. If it didn’t go around the helicopter then really serious stuff would happen and we don’t want that.
